About Francois Roux

Biography

As a teenager, I was already very keen on both the visual and the technical aspects of the world around me. I loved nature, chemistry, ceramics and photography. I elected the basement of my parents’ house as my very private darkroom and chemistry lab. This is where I explored and experimented processes and formulae. My creative pursuits led me to the studios of local ceramic artists, winemakers, and other creators.

Photography remained a hobby for many years. I started my professional career in computer science –programming and software development. That background proved to be extremely valuable for photography, the hobby that turned into real passion over the years, and made the transition to digital photography self-evident.

When I realised how photography ideally combines my passion for the outdoors and my interest in technology and techniques, there was only one step to take to become a professional photographer.

I certainly love the outdoors and the peace and quiet of mountains in the Alps when I am in France, the cityscapes and architecture of cities like Paris and New York. I love scouting, shooting, post-processing and printing, but I also love to share my passion and my knowledge with others. That is why I have decided to also offer workshops. It is a great opportunity to talk about photos, listen to other photo enthusiasts and help them get the photograph they have in mind.

What my Work Focuses on

Today, my work continues to reflect my technological interest while remaining grounded in nature.

My current work consists of commercial and private projects, fine art, and selected stock photography.

My work mainly outlines landscapes, cityscapes and architecture.

I like to have these subjects as a base for Black & White photos as well as panoramic and timelapse photography which I find both demanding and fascinating.
